Waiting at the Bus Stop

Students should wait in an orderly fashion while at the bus stop in the morning. They should be at the bus stop five minutes prior to the posted stop time.

Students should be at least ten feet back from the main traveled portion of the roadway and visible to the driver.

Pushing, shoving or horseplay is not allowed at the bus stop. Students should be mindful of the bus stop location. Many are in driveways and on private property.

Students are not allowed to throw rocks or other objects, play around, cause excessive noise, touch or tamper with the other private property or vehicles nearby.

Once the bus arrives students shall wait for the driver to come to a complete stop and the door of the bus to open before they begin to move forward to the bus.


Students should board the bus one-at-a-time, using the available handrails, and move quickly to an open seat.

If a student drops papers or other objects while boarding the bus, he/she should get the attention of the driver.


NEVER GO UNDER OR NEAR THE BUS TO RETRIEVE PAPERS OR OTHER OBJECTS. The driver may not be able to see you!
